If the next version of the Linux kernel emerges a little slower than usual, blame a dodgy DIMM in Linus Torvalds's AMD Threadripper-powered PC and the vagaries of the memory market.
In a post responding to a kernel developer inquiring if he had missed a Git Pull, Torvalds on Sunday revealed the request was still in his queue as "I'm doing merges (very slowly) on my laptop, while waiting for new ECC memory DIMMs to arrive."
Torvalds needs the DIMMs because over the last few days he experienced what he described as "some instability on my main desktop the … with random memory corruption in user space resulting in my allmodconfig builds randomly failing with internal compiler errors etc."
The Linux boss's first thought was that a new kernel bug had caused the problem – which isn't good but sometimes happens.
His instinct was wrong.
"It was literally a DIMM going bad in my machine randomly after 2.5 years of it being perfectly stable," he wrote. "Go figure. Verified first by booting an old kernel, and then with memtest86+ overnight."
Torvalds appears to have been tracking delivery of the new DIMMs as he reported replacement memory was "out for delivery" and predicted it should arrive later on Sunday evening.
"I'll probably leave memtest86+ for another overnight with the new DIMMs just because this wasn't the greatest experience ever. A fair amount of wasted time blaming all the wrong things, because obviously it wasn't my hardware suddenly going bad," he added.
Torvalds's post is interesting for two other reasons. One is that the laptop he mentions could be the recent MacBook – complete with Arm64 Apple silicon – that he used to push the final cut of Linux 5.19. If that's the same laptop he used on Sunday, said silicon may not be quite up to one of the more high-profile workloads in the world – or perhaps Linus just misses the comforts of a big screen.

When Windows 95 debuted all those years ago, it was revolutionary. It introduced many of the features we still use today, including a desktop, taskbar and Start button.
Consumers lapped it up, and it sold some seven million copies in the first five weeks, buoyed by the multimillion-dollar hype. Microsoft spent an estimated $300 million promoting the OS, which included some $12 million for the rights to use the opening chords of the Rolling Stones song "Start Me Up" as its theme tune.
We’ve looked at how the operating system might look on Mobile and Desktop if it was released today, but if you want to actually try out the original again (or for the first time if you came into Windows more recently) you can do so by installing a new app that runs on Windows, macOS, or Linux.
Created by Slack developer Felix Rieseberg, it’s available in the form of an electron app. Most things work exactly as you’d expect them to, including WordPad, FreeCell, Calculator and Media Player, although you can’t currently browse the web with Internet Explorer sadly. It opens but pages don't load.
You can lock or unlock your mouse inside the virtual OS by tapping Esc.
Despite being a fully functioning operating system running in a window, it doesn’t require too much in the way of system resources.
Journo spergout as the unholy alliance of Ye, Musk, and Trump against big tech has arrived

An Unholy Alliance Between Ye, Musk, and Trump
What do you get the contrarian billionaire who has everything? Try a social network to call their own.
It certainly seems like the hot new thing. Almost one year ago, Donald Trump, freshly banned from mainstream platforms, ginned up a Twitter clone called Truth Social, which he claimed would constitute the first “non-cancellable” global community. Elon Musk appears to be going through with his acquisition of Twitter. And earlier this week, many awoke to the news that Ye, formerly Kanye West, plans to acquire Parler after getting the boot from Instagram and Twitter over anti-Semitic rants. If the deal does happen, he’ll inherit the social-media equivalent of a gutted city mall filled with the echoing cries of January 6 defendants and racists.
Soon, we may enter an era where mercurial celebrity landlords dictate the terms of service on their own social networks—ones that are explicitly positioned against content moderation and in favor of a facile understanding of free-speech maximalism. Although the rhetoric they’ve chosen to use to gain support for their stewardship is cribbed from a larger, years-long political battle against Big Tech’s influence, their actions are personal and, in two of the three cases, born from the desperation of running out of major platforms to publish on. None of these men has signaled any desire to create something new as much as they wish to roll the clock back to some shallowly conceived digital Wild West, where the powerful and hateful alike can inflict damage and experience no consequences.
Celebrities have always had vanity projects in the tech space that have allowed them to tap into and monetize their adoring fans (let us not forget the Jeremy Renner app—RIP). These projects almost always wither away in part because they’re weird, but also because they’re walled garden environments, or private spaces. Musk, Trump, and Ye are after something different: They are all obsessed with setting the rules of public spaces.
One way to look at the existence of these would-be social-media barons is as a logical, if depressing, conclusion of the “techlash” that started shortly after Donald Trump’s election. His campaign managed to activate and mobilize communities of trolls to make endless memes and organize harassment campaigns for their “god emperor.” Less than a week after winning, the Trump campaign touted Facebook as “the single most important platform to help grow our fundraising base” and later on extolled the company’s ad targeting as a helpful tool in attracting voters. Employees at both Twitter and Facebook very publicly fretted over the way their cowtools might have played a role in the 2016 election.
By 2017, Facebook was in front of Congress testifying about ads linked to Russian election manipulation. An understandable consensus began to form on the political left that large social networks, but especially Facebook, helped Trump rise to power. The reasons were multifaceted: algorithms that gave a natural advantage to the most shameless users, helpful marketing cowtools that the campaign made good use of, a confusing tangle of foreign interference (the efficacy of which has always been tough to suss out), and a basic attentional architecture that helps polarize and pit Americans against one another (no foreign help required). The misinformation industrial complex—a loosely knit network of researchers, academics, journ*lists, and even government entities—coalesced around this moment. Different phases of the backlash homed in on bots, content moderation, and, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, data privacy. People can and will argue over the utility and lessons learned from all these debates and scandals, but the broad theme was clear: Social-media platforms are the main communication cowtools of the 21st century, and they matter.
With Trump at the center, the techlash morphed into a culture war with a clear partisan split. One could frame the position from the left as: We do not want these platforms to give a natural advantage to the most shameless and awful people who stoke resentment and fear to gain power. On the right, it might sound more like: We must preserve the power of the platforms to let outsiders have a natural advantage (by stoking fear and resentment to gain power). Put another way, the political world realized that platforms and content-recommendation engines decide which cultural objects get amplified. The left found this troubling, whereas the right found it to be an exciting prospect and something to leverage, exploit, and manipulate via the courts (as evidenced by the Texas social-media law that aims to tell big platforms they can’t moderate the content on their sites). Crucially, both camps resent the power of the technology platforms and believe the companies have a negative influence on our discourse and politics by either censoring too much or not doing enough to protect users and our political discourse.
Because of this stark divide, there’s been more grandstanding than actual policy changes. And because these platforms are massive networks, connecting billions of human beings—and because speech issues and First Amendment law are complex and sometimes counterintuitive—one outcome of the techlash has been an incredibly facile public understanding of content moderation and a whole lot of culture warring.
Musk and Ye aren’t so much buying into the right’s overly simplistic Big Tech culture war as they are hijacking it for their own purposes; Trump, meanwhile, is mostly just mad because his tweets violated Twitter’s terms of service. Each one casts himself as an antidote to a heavy-handed, censorious social-media apparatus that is either captured by progressive ideology or merely pressured into submission by it. But none of them has any understanding of thorny First Amendment or content-moderation issues. They embrace a shallow posture of free-speech maximalism—the very kind that some social-media-platform founders first espoused, before watching their sites become overrun with harassment, spam, and other hateful garbage that drives away both users and advertisers. It’s not clear they even believe in unfettered speech as much as they believe in their own right to take up as much oxygen as possible and face zero penalties.
Another component of this new ownership era is the long-tortured relationship between celebrity and social media. Platforms are a minefield for famous people who post from the hip without PR teams. But for those who can hit the mark without getting banned, social media is a force multiplier for cultural and political relevance and a way around gatekeeping media.
Musk, Ye, and Trump rely on their ability to pick up their phones, go direct, and say whatever they want to their legions of fans, who sound a lot like the yes-men whom billionaires surround themselves with IRL. But the moment they butt up against rules or consequences, they begin to howl about persecution and unfair treatment. The idea of being treated similarly to the rest of a platform’s user base—that is, the people who are not exempt from following a platform’s rules—is so galling to these men that they declare the entire system to be broken.
Though the three all embody the various ways platforms can amplify ideas and confer power, they also demonstrate how being the Main Character of popular and political culture can totally warp perspective. They’re so blinded by their own outlying experiences across social media that, in most cases, they hardly know what it is they’re buying (or in the case of Trump, cloning)—and perhaps they don’t even care. None of these platform acquisitions is a particularly sound business decision. Musk, Ye, and Trump could be doing plenty of more useful or effective things with their money. Instead, they are using a culture war to justify carving out their own safe spaces.
These are projects motivated entirely by grievance and conflict. And so they are destined to amplify grievance and conflict. They couldn’t possibly solve the problems around free speech and power that these three men are nominally compelled by—but we can rest assured that they’ll find a way to create more of them.

OP is a hypocrite and was exposed for it
You really deleted your post showing off your ultra and then made a post complaining about people showing off their ultra’s. I feel sorry for the people that have to deal with you in life.
Bruh someone changed their mind and were a hypocrite on a stupid social media post and you think it means anything as to the ops character lmao, you are joking [-46]
Hates ultra posts, so he makes another ultra post.
I don’t have one….I have the Series 8. Let people get excited about their watches. It’s not that big of a deal lol. Also you literally posted your Ultra watch pic in this subreddit 27 days ago lmao and now other people can’t post theirs. Edit: I’ve woke up to OP deleted all their comments
Excited was a few weeks ago. Now it’s just spamming the good content of this sub. [-88, deleted]
You literally posted yours in here and now wanna complain that people are posting theirs. I’m sure these watches have been on back order and people are just now getting theirs. They are allowed to be excited and show off their purchase just like you did. You know you can press the “hide” button on all these posts if it bothers you so much.
One pic. Weeks ago. It’s over. It’s not new any more. Move the frick on [-74, deleted]
https://www.undelete.pullpush.io/r/AppleWatch/comments/yaxm51/_/itdu7cl/#comment-info
Feel free to leave the sub if it annoys you seeing people get excited and post their watch here cuz there’s no reason why they would all stop posting because of your supposedly ‘warning’ post
It’s not a warning. But I’m posting this same post every single day from now until this stops. And I’m posting the same comment on every single ultra pic that I see posted from now until it stops. Enough is enough. [-12, deleted]

The metaverse itself could very well fail for all we know, but Meta's tens of billions being spent is on VR/AR hardware R&D rather than the metaverse or their cartoony software, and they have a lot to show for it, being ahead of the pack with only Apple really being able to compete there.
They have no choice but to keep investing in this, because Facebook growth has plateaued, and the tech industry is all-in on XR as the next big thing, so everyone has a foot in the game - with Meta being as ahead as they are, why would they squander that opportunity?
If XR hardware will reach billions of users in the future, then Meta obviously wants to ride that train in the front carriage.
Hate Meta all you want, but this is just the facts.
Or we should transition to a decentralized platform(s) where we own our own media and data and let Facebook stock go to zero.
Facebook needs to go away. Forever. It’s toxic to your health.
Nope. Mark and facebook should just go away. They're both stains on society.
He is actually doing the right thing
Facebook is already history, its user base has already aged out (kids do not use it anymore) and the time to make profit from it will be limited to the next decade or so - so, the company needs something new and he dcided that this new must be the metaverse
right, wrong, indifferent - but the fact that he is looking for something new and not just tinker around with the existing product shows that he is actually a pretty smart guy
Maybe he picked the wrong horse, maybe he is just too early for people to see, but all the naysayers are probably the same that told him facebook was rubbish

The guy basically ask access to the switch kernel and would often change switch main theme to one similar to /r/drama, guy would also often shit on other switch home brew dev and auto delete their apps with his auto updates (has access to kernel)
“The drama had to do with the political views of the programmer and his tendency to insert them into Tinfoil. Best I can tell, Tinfoil's safe. There might be a screen or two that rubs you the wrong - or right, whatever - way depending on how you feel about homosexuality but I use Tinfoil with no problems and it’s easy to set up and understand.”
“”Warner was first arrested in December after a fight with his wife turned physical. A neighbor reported hearing a woman yelling, "Just shoot me!" and "You could have killed me!" When officers arrived, they found a loaded gun with a 15-round magazine on the kitchen table. Warner allegedly pushed his wife to the floor during the argument, while she was holding her 1-year-old son. At that time, that gun, along with another .9-mm and a .45-mm were seized by police for safekeeping. He has no weapons registered in Connecticut, though he did have a valid gun license issued by the state of Florida.
He was arrested again April 30 on a charge of first-degree strangulation. At the time, he was in court to answer a charge of violating a protective order, and was released on a $100,000 and was fitted with a GPS bracelet. Warner was arrested on the protective order violation on April 24, after it was discovered he had stayed at his wife's residence while she was out of town.”” (He adding such messages to switch new feeds)

Don't get me wrong, hate speech is never a good thing in any context. But what kind of bs is this that you cannot have a video on your own cloud drive because it contains "hate speech"? I can see a point if you're publishing a video to a big audience, but for your own personal viewing? What if I were doing a research paper on 1960s civil rights movement, could I not have historical photos of old water fountains, or signs put up on restaurants that read "no colored people"? If this is the future of google drive, I think I might cancel my subscription and look for alternative cloud drives.
You guys want monopolies then you get monopolistic behavior.
You cannot both champion the free market and then get mad when the free market makes decisions like this.
The free market is the biggest scam in history. Everywhere a free market has existed, it has just destroyed that nation, that market and abused it's people.
Then the free market idiots have the balls to say "but that wasn't a real free market". BULLSHIT!
The gaslighting from free market advocates is the worst! [sh, but collapsed]
Thousands if not tens of Thousands of Google drives filled to the brim with cp and other such disgusting material.
Gotta find and destroy all that evil Ye tho. That's the real juicy shit.
Gonna edit this in, so people stop white knighting the big corporation. Google has a history of this, most large social media have an issues with this detestable content. Twitter has an active lawsuit. It's an issue.
Yeah! Poor neo nazis can't spread genocidal hate speech! This world is so unfair! /s
The comments... Ffs... "Let me keep mur hate speech" Like a child wanting to keep their stick after throwing it into a crowd.
Hate speech isn’t real though

Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and NOT drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to read them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. This hole is a janny playground, participation implies enthusiastic consent to being janny abused by unstable alcoholic bullies and loser nerds who have nothing better to do than banning you for any reason or no reason whatsoever.
